Application of
pollinator
conservation in the
Bogotá savanna
GENERAL OBJECTIVE
Conserve and promote pollinator biodiversity in the
Bogotá savannah through the development of a mobile
application that facilitates the identification, monitoring
and education about pollinator species and local flora.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE
Provide educational information about the
importance of pollinators and the threats they face.
Create a detailed database of the main species of
pollinators and flora in the Bogotá savannah.
OBJECTIVES
HOW DO WE PLAN TO DEVELOP
THIS APPLICATION?
HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO
IT?
TELL STORIES ABOUT
HUMMINGBIRDS, BEES, AND
BUTTERFLIES.
RESEARCH POLLINATORS OF
THE BOGOTÁ SAVANNA.
TEACH HOW TO HELP
POLLINATORS.
WORK WITH BIOLOGISTS
AND TEACHERS.
SHOW MAPS TO LOCATE THEM
DESIGN A FRIENDLY AND
APPEALING APP.
First, we will research more
about these little creatures and
their importance in the Bogotá
Savanna. Then, we will seek
the help of experts, such as
biologists or teachers like Mary
Lee Berdugo of the Central
University , to ensure that the
information is accurate. Finally,
we will design the application
to be user-friendly and
appealing to the public.
Bees: In the Bogotá Savanna, there are
various species of native bees that play a
crucial role in the pollination of wild plants
and agricultural crops. Species like
Bombus atratus are known for their
efficiency in pollinating crops such as
tomatoes and strawberries.
Importance of Pollinators:
Pollinators
Butterflies: Butterflies, such as the
monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus),
are important pollinators in the Bogotá
Savanna. These species contribute to the
reproduction of various plants by
transferring pollen while feeding on
nectar.
Some beetles act as pollinators in the
Bogotá Savanna by visiting flowers in
search of food. Although their role is less
known, they contribute to the reproduction
of certain plant species.
Hummingbirds: are birds that, by feeding on
flower nectar, facilitate the pollination of
numerous plant species in the region. Their
ability to visit multiple flowers in search of
food makes them efficient pollinators.
Amarrabollo (Meriania
nobilis)
Stachys
Chamomile
and Plants of the
Bogotá Savanna
This endemic plant is common in open
areas of the Bogotá Savanna and is vital
for pollinators due to its showy and
colorful flowers that attract various
species.
Another endemic species of the
region, known for its flowers that
provide essential resources for
pollinators such as bees and
butterflies.
Chamomile is an annual herbaceous plant known for
its aromatic flowers, commonly used in teas to treat
insomnia and calm nerves. In the Bogotá Savanna,
chamomile attracts various pollinators, especially
butterflies and bumblebees, which facilitate its
pollination and contribute to local biodiversity.

Implementation Strategies
Pilot Tests
1.Scope Definition: Prioritize the critical areas of the application and establish clear metrics to evaluate its performance.
2.Community Selection: Choose representative communities of your target audience to launch the beta version.
3.Feedback Collection: Use surveys, interviews, and usage analysis to gather detailed feedback from users.
4.Iterative Improvements: Make adjustments and improvements based on the feedback received before the official launch.
Dissemination Campaigns
1.App Store Optimization: Ensure that your app's page in the app stores is fully optimized with clear descriptions, relevant keywords,
and attractive screenshots.
2.Social Media Advertising: Use platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to promote your app through paid ads and organic
posts.
3.Collaborations with Institutions: Establish partnerships with universities, environmental organizations, and other relevant
institutions to promote the app through their communication channels.
4.Educational Workshops: Organize workshops and educational events to present the app and teach users about the pollinators and
flora of the Bogotá savanna.
5.Digital Presence: Create a dedicated website or blog for the app, where users can find detailed information, updates, and additional
resources.
DESIGN OF THE APPLICATION SOFTWARE AND MATERIALS
30% of pollinators in Colombia are endangered
(Humboldt Institute).
70% of crops depend on pollination.
Hummingbirds pollinate over 100 angiosperm plant
species.
Educational apps can increase environmental
engagement by 60%.
Butterflies have ecological and cultural value,
symbolizing transformation.
